In theory communism is better but in practicality capitalism is better. I would prefer to live in a world with capitalism because with communism no matter how much schooling I get or how hard I work to raise up the ranks I would not get an incentive for that at all. Sure the 1% get the most money in capitalism but I can still work very hard to get as close to the 1% as possible. In communism I would just choose to be a worker at McDonald or something along those lines because I wouldn't see the point in becoming anything different. I apologize if someone said the same thing as me and I just have not seen it.

AKCHEWALY, you like the idea of communist over the practice of capitalism

the communist idea is one that is supposed to create equality while at the same time make everyone happy. As humans we have this little thing called greed. Ever reaad animal farm? if everyone was a Boxer the system would work. The world is full of pigs (not the good ones like Snowball) and sheep and other examples of the animals. Therefore, no you do not like communism because it has not ever become real communism. you have never lived in communism therefore cannot prefer it over something taht does exist. so in fact, your opinion is wrong, and you are wrong

Really capitalism wasn't in the best interests of the people? Let's go ask those millions of people who were killed in Stalin's purges how much better is, or how about all those people that starved under Mao, or those people being forced into slave labor in North Korea.

It seems to me the only people who support Communism are people that have never had to live with it.

Well comrade, I feel for you, I really do.
You would be one of those whom suffered under the greatest crime of the modern age.
But, sure, list all those ills than happened under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. It's not like America has blockaded certain countries, meaning hundreds of thousands starved.
It's not like Britain let Ireland starve is it?
You know nothing about history other than that which has been force-fed you.

Here's the way I look at it, communism is all fun and good, however the rights of the individual are belittled in the interest of the state and community. Capitalism is selfish at its core and therefore has the primary concern of the individual not the community. If a capitalist society exists with a weak government it can sufficiently allow for the freedom of the individual which will likely result in the rise of some people at the expense of others. While communist needs a very strong centralization to crush the individualism that leads to selfishness, resulting in a community where all are equal. So what is more in your interests? Freedom or equality? Of course there is way more debate within those two words themselves.

Lets compare the US and Soviet in the 80s, and see which ideology worked best. Not a fan of today's US, but I don't think communism can work, due to the fact that human greed with ruin the system in the end
